Appendix Carry

[bjew]

Tie your shoes before you put gun on or what I do is kneel down on one keen tie opposite shoe then fevers for other shoe.

So I guess it will be an issue even with a purposed AIWB holster. Crap... I'm Asian and we always take off shoes when entering our home or another's home (unless they tell us not to/not need to). So when leaving their house, i will have to find something in their home to prop my foot on to put on and tie my shoes?

I don't find it to be an issue I simply kneel down onto left knee to tie right shoe and Visa versa not a big deal. I don't carry at 12o clock more like in between 12 and 1

So then your gun must sit high? Won't kneeling cause your thigh to push the gun muzzle creating tension on your belt and where the holster attaches?

I guess it would work fine if the muzzle is sitting above the point of where your hip flexors are. Would pulling and holding my pant high above my waist and then kneeling down be the work around? Would look kind of silly but I guess it might work?

The bottom of holster/barrel of gun sits about in the crevice of my leg/hip area.
The gun sits high enough to get a complete grab on the grip. I would say maybe half the gun sits above the belt roughly.

Ahhh, that makes sense then. Yeah if my gun will sit like that with the AIWB holster I ordered, then yeah, should no problem squatting/kneeling to tie my shoes. Thanks again.

Although this reeks of sarcasm:



This image may help those in doubt...

I carry IWB a full size Smith 10mm just like this^^^
Like it's not even there.

How does anyone appendix carry? It's uncomfortable, ungainly and just plain awful. If that were the only option available to me I wouldn't carry at all.

Yep that area of my jeans is already a bit cramped.

Crossbreed Super tuck all day long. I have used one on a daily basis for the last 2 years and have never been happier. You'll forget your wearing it.

Some things to help with AIWB carry and sitting...
If the holster rides too low it will be uncomfortable when you sit. (The muzzle of the gun jabbing you in the leg or your junk.)
To lessen this problem bring the holster position up by:

1. Pulling up your pants prior to sitting.
2. Use a holster retained by a single clip may help; cant (tilt) the holster slightly to the right (for right handers) so the muzzle of the gun is not up and down.
3. Select a different holster that rides higher.

Those are some things that have worked for me for AIWB carry just right of center-line position.

Awesome, thank you

Wasn't a fan of appendix till i got the stealthgear. That hybrid mesh is so comfortable compared to kydex for long periods of time. Still like kydex from time to time though

Going on four years with my CCW and I've been carrying at condition one, a 9mm Shield or a sig P238 in a Remora holster placed at appendix or out to 1:30/2:00 depending on the weapon.
Never had it slip or needing readjustment. The only hardship is reaching down for products on the bottom store shelves.
